Love the chick at :55 seconds waving and tripping.

One small incident can turn into a stampede.

You both are so awesome

But not showing out for the schools

[@TheSpannReport]

Yeah, they closed right as I was near the front of the line. I was pissed. But I would have been even MORE PISSED if I had paid $100 to park my car.

[@golions157]

There was a parking garage for only $15 and a shuttle to take you as close as possible. Sorry friend

[@TheSpannReport]

@@golions157 I parked in the New Center area, and took the Q Line down. And then did a ton of walking. 😂 Only to get to the front of the lie and they shut it down.

😂 I'd rather watch paint drying....

[@6Mileboyz]

Go watch it!

[@kevinmach730]

I'm a football fan and even I don't fully comprehend why people would go down there, just not that exciting as an "event". People looking for something to do, I guess.

​@@kevinmach730They'll spend $500 easily on useless chotskys and garbage, overpriced food and drinks and can't figure out why they're broke all the time.

No sht… You’re fool if you go down there unstrapped

[@KayAintPressed]

Excuse me? Wtf that suppose to mean?

[@brentstack3267]

Detroit is changing for the better, whether you like it or not. Not 1 arrest! That’s impressive for any city.

[@KayAintPressed]

@@brentstack3267 exactly. I'm happy that everybody was getting along having a great time

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Good for Detroit. Does that mean that importing ppl from other cities is the best way to have an event without shots fired announcements on police radios? 😂 Now I’m just kidding. This isn’t a Chiefs SB parade & Cam Sutton’s bond prevents him from leaving Florida so it had to go well.

[@brentstack3267]

@@r.williamcomm7693 I couldn’t stand Sutton last year, I’m glad he’s gone tbh! He pissed me off so many games giving up 200 yards a game 2nd half of season.
